public static IFormatter GetFormatter(Type type, ISerializationPolicy policy, bool allowWeakFallbackFormatters)
Parameters
System.Type type

The type to get a formatter for.
Sirenix.Serialization.ISerializationPolicy policy

The serialization policy to use if a formatter has to be emitted. If null, Strict is used.
System.Boolean allowWeakFallbackFormatters

Whether to allow the use of weak fallback formatters which do not implement the strongly typed Sirenix.Serialization.IFormatter<T>, but which conversely do not need to have had AOT support generated.
Returns
Sirenix.Serialization.IFormatter

A formatter for the given type.

Exceptions
System.ArgumentNullException

The type argument is null.
GetFormatter<T>(ISerializationPolicy)
Gets a formatter for the type . 
public static IFormatter<T> GetFormatter<T>(ISerializationPolicy policy)
Parameters
Sirenix.Serialization.ISerializationPolicy policy

The serialization policy to use if a formatter has to be emitted. If null, Strict is used.
Returns
Sirenix.Serialization.IFormatter<T>

A formatter for the type .

Type Parameters
